12 the quality of the product. Cleanrooms are controlled environments that filter pollutants like dust, airborne microbes, and aerosol particles to provide the cleanest area possible. Traditionally, as life science innovators begin their journey, they have two choices regarding early clinical trial manufacturing: build or broker. Azzur’s Cleanrooms on Demand™ facilities offer current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) compliant cleanroom spaces, warehousing, and material management, allowing manufacturers to carry out their daily activities without the need to build their own facility or rely on Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). When companies obtain a license for an Azzur Group cleanroom, they receive all the added benefits of building their own facility without timeline setbacks or cGMP compliance technicalities. Unlike with CMOs, Azzur’s hybrid model allows them to maintain full control over their space and all intellectual property developed in the facility.

With an extensive network of engineers and consultants nationwide, Azzur Group offers GxP advisory and consulting solutions, including comprehensive quality assurance and regulatory compliance services, to manufacturers in every phase of the product life cycle.

16 GHP International Life Sciences Awards 2023 It’s a proven fact that music has healing properties. Whether it’s used to lessen anxiety, or help reawaken memories that have been lost to a variety of illnesses, music is the one medium that seems to transcend what we think we know about our brains. It has an undeniably special effect on our psyche, and MediMusic is determined to explore this concept to its fullest potential. Jun23341 Best Digital Music Therapy Company 2023 - UK Through utilising artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop audio fingerprints that have a proven positive impact on the brain, MediMusic is reinventing the way we think about managing our health. It’s able to recognise the way in which our brains react to different types of music, and then compiles all of this information in order to utilise this marvellous medium for the benefit of those suffering from clinical pain, dementia, and anxiety. The playlists that it concocts are auto created and wholly personalised based on the information derived from each individual patient. Through utilising predictive analyses to reduce the heart rate and stress hormones within patients, MediMusic is able to encourage positive endocrine secretions, improved breathing, and excelled cognitive growth. As a result, patients receive gentle healthcare in the form of the music that best impacts their wellbeing. However, unlike current clinical music therapy practises, MediMusic transcends the norm completely. It creates a scalable service that’s able to stream 25 minutes of personalised playlists via a convenient app, with each song carefully selected to positively influence both physiological and neurological functions of the human body. Not only does it recognise what works best for patients, but it’s able to adapt and adjust in the same way people do. Therefore, each playlist is readily equipped with the means to make a difference for the better. In MediMusic’s own words: “… unlike other music streaming providers, we are a B2B focused service whose ethos is to always be efficacy driven and evidence based…”, and it proceeds to place immense emphasis on the notion of efficacy. Efficacy plays a crucial role in spearheading the firm’s progression towards greatness – something that’s irrefutably clear to see through the way in which MediMusic operates. It’s focused on the results, and takes every necessary measure to guarantee that its services work for its respective recipients. Though most would believe that the positive neurological and physiological impact that music has on the human body is a myth, this is, in fact, not the case at all. MediMusic explains that “… a study of 4,261 academic title and abstracts by The Lancet concluded that “Music should be offered as a way to help patients reduce pain and anxiety during the post operative period…”. MediMusic is at the forefront of proving that music not only benefits a wide variety of patients, but is able to completely reshape the way we approach our healthcare practises. Music has a power that’s still, to this day, untapped. Its potential is limitless, and there are so many rewards that researching the effects of music can reap. Thankfully, MediMusic is a company that’s at the helm of pioneering these discoveries. It’s constantly investigating more ways to utilise music as a form of healing, and has its sights set on ambitious ventures in the near future. Though it specialises in patients with dementia, pre/post op pain, and anxiety, MediMusic is taking the next big step forward, and hopes to target its services towards addressing chronic back pain and other such conditions. There truly isn’t another B2B company quite like MediMusic. Its passion for introducing patients to a new way to overcome their ailments is unrelenting, and it’s what’s allowed it to excel at its current rate. However, MediMusic believes that it’s only scratched the surface of what music can do. It has a multitude of exciting plans for the future, and we can’t wait to see them play out. This commitment, partnered with an astounding regard for sustainability within the medical sphere, makes MediMusic a company worth keeping an eye on. We’re very proud to present MediMusic with the title of Best Digital Music Therapy Company 2023 – UK. Its work with music as a means to assist recovery across a wide range of patients is nothing short of exemplary, and we’re sure that, in the near future, its contributions towards the medical sector will be even more invaluable than they already are.

17 GHP International Life Sciences Awards 2023 arinova is dedicated to the development and production of high purity seaweed extracts for the betterment of human health. The company specialises in the research, development and manufacture of fucoidan compounds – highly bioactive polysaccharides derived from select species of brown seaweed. Sustainably sourced and clinically validated, Maritech® organic fucoidans are high purity seaweed extracts sought after by some of the world’s most trusted healthcare brands. They are included as premium ingredients in market-leading nutritional supplements, medical devices, functional foods and beverages, skincare and dermatological formulations, and animal health products. Company CEO, Mr Paul Garrott, explains, “There is rapidly growing interest in marine bioproducts and for good very reason. Superior ingredients in this category tick all the boxes – they are natural, sustainably sourced, supported by an extensive dossier of scientific evidence and have global regulatory acceptance. Maritech® organic fucoidans represent all this and more. They are ideal for new product innovators seeking novel ingredients with a clear point of differentiation.” “The benefits of fucoidans are well understood in countries such as Japan and Korea,” continued Garrott. “But it has only been in recent years that awareness has been building in the US and Europe. This aligns not only with the granting of regulatory approvals, but also the growing investment in fucoidan research. There are now more than 2500 scientific papers attesting to the bioactive properties fucoidans … and Marinova is continuing to lead the way.” “Maritech® fucoidan extracts are included in dietary supplements that target a diverse range of human health conditions. Immune support, gut and digestive health, and healthy ageing are key focus areas,” said Garrott. “Marinova is continually investing in rigorous scientific research including comprehensive in vitro investigations, animal studies and human clinical trials. The company is a partner in Australia’s Marine Bioproducts CRC – a dynamic consortium 70 partners involved in a $270 million dollar R&D program. Australia is very serious about the future for high quality marine bioproducts.” As the global leader in fucoidan science, Marinova is also the supplier of choice to world-renowned research institutions. “Our highly characterised fucoidan fractions are well-suited to medical device applications and pharmaceutical research,” explained Garrott. “Marinova also possesses the unique ability to isolate distinct fucoidan compounds with enhanced efficacy and superior compatibility with other biomaterials and therapeutic agents. Marinova is at the forefront of developing discrete fucoidans for medical research. The company’s team of scientists understand the unique physicochemical properties of fucoidan extracts and how these may be tailored to influence uptake and achieve targeted therapeutic effects.” Maritech® fucoidan is the world’s only high purity, certified organic fucoidan with global regulatory acceptance. “This is by virtue of our proprietary Maritech® extraction process,” explained Garrott. “Fucoidans have traditionally been precipitated from crude extracts using solvents. This may lead to contaminants being present in the final extract. Fucoidans manufactured in this way can suffer from many shortfalls. Their quality can be inconsistent, their chemical integrity may be compromised and – most importantly – their bioactivity may be affected.” The Maritech® extraction technology, developed and used exclusively by Marinova, overcomes these problems. Unique ‘green chemistry’ processes avoid organic solvents and produces fucoidan extracts that remain unadulterated in chemical structure and free from solvent residues. The mild, aqueous process also ensures the resulting extracts comply with the most rigorous quality standards and regulatory requirements. Garrott offers useful advice to those unfamiliar with fucoidan. “Extensive research tells us there are two critical factors that determine fucoidan efficacy. Firstly, the seaweed species from which the fucoidan has been derived and secondly, the method of extraction. It is crucial you question any potential fucoidan manufacturer about those two elements.” Marinova’s core fucoidan ingredients are extracted from two species of seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida (wakame) and Fucus vesiculosus (bladderwrack). “Fucoidans from these two species have been the most widely researched,” said Garrott. “They are also rapidly renewable marine resources that we are able to hand harvest – sustainably and ethically. In fact, the entire process from harvest through to the capture and reuse of waste places us on the cusp of being a genuine zero-waste operation. Importantly, our Maritech® extracts are the only certified organic, high purity fucoidan ingredients with global regulatory acceptance.” The future of Maritech® organic fucoidans is bright. “We are currently scaling up both our research investment and our production capacity here in Australia,” finished Garrott. “There are not many natural, bioactive ingredients that are supported by this volume of scientific evidence and demand for high purity fucoidan is rising significantly. We have some exciting research collaborations underway across the globe that have the potential to reshape human health and that’s rewarding indeed.” Company: Marinova Pty Ltd Email: [email protected] Website: www.maritechfucoidan.com.au M Feb23194 Health & Wellness Ingredient Innovator of the Year 2023 Australian biotechnology leader Marinova Pty Ltd is making waves in global healthcare. Its unique portfolio of bioactive seaweed extracts is the result of two decades of innovative R&D.
